Legendary Broadcaster Alistair Cooke Dies
(AP) - Alistair Cooke, the broadcaster who epitomized highbrow television as host of "Masterpiece Theatre" and whose "Letter from America" was a radio fixture in Britain for 58 years, has died, the British Broadcasting Corp. said Tuesday. He was 95. Cooke died at his home in New York at midnight, a spokeswoman at the BBC's press office said.
WADE'S TWO CENTS:
My parents used to watch "Materpiece Theatre" when I was a little kid and I remember the cool theme song and opening to the show and how Cooke had this real cool voice. I would always start talking when the show really got going and my parents would tell me to "GO TO BED!"
RIP AC
